The present invention relates to a stopper designed for use on milkbottles and the like and has for its prime object to provide a verysimple device of this nature formed of only four parts and capable ofbeing easily manipulated in opening and closing the stopper for thepurpose of dispensing the contents of the bottle.

Another very important object of the invention resides in the provisionof a stopper of this nature which is highly sanitary because it iseasily cleaned and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it isdesigned.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel featuresof construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings: Y

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stopper embodying the features of myinvention showing the same in the neck of a bottle which is shown insection. Y

Figure 2 is a similar View showing the parts in a pouring position.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of a stopper showing the valve placed in oneposition.

Figure 4 is a similar View showing the plate in another position.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 3.

Figure 6 is a. sectional view taken on the line 6 6 of Figure 4.

Figure 7 is a perspective View of the valve plate, and

Figure 8 is a detail section taken on the line 8*8 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings in detail it will be seen that numeral ldenotes a plug or body of the stopper shaped to conform to the openingin the neck of the bottle in which it is to be used. This plug isprovided with a central bore 2 enlarged or countersunk at its bottom endas indicated at 3. A bolt 4 is receivable in the bore 2 with its headcountersunk in the end 3 and the threaded end of the bolt projecting adistance above the upper surface of the plug. The plug is provided withan olf center vent bore 5 and an offcenter pouring bore 6. Numeral 7denotes a rectangular plate with a square opening 8 in the centerthereof. Numeral 9 denotes al knob having a squared end 10 fitted in theopening 8. It will be noted that both the opening and the end aretapered as illustrated in Figure 6.

The bolt 4 is threaded in the knob 9 to hold the plate 7 in slidingabutment with the top surface of the plug so that by turning the knobthe plate may be placed in the closed position shown in Figure 3 or inthe open position shown in Figure 4.

It is thought that the construction, utility and advantages of thisinvention will be quite apparent without a more detailed descriptionthereof.

It is apparent that changes in details of construction may be resortedto without departing from the spirit'or scope of the invention ashereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described what I claim as new is:

A stopper including a plug having a central bore, an off center ventbore, and an olf center pouring bore, a bolt extending through thecenter bore, an oblong plate having a non-circular opening, walls ofwhich flare upwardly and outwardly, and a knob having a non-circular endto lit in the opening, the walls of said non-circular end slopingupwardly and outwardly to engage the flaring walls of the opening in theplate, said bolt being threadedly engaged in said knob.

In testimony whereof I afIiX my signature.
